X-energy develops Generation IV high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors and advanced TRISO fuel to power them. The Xe-100 reactor design eliminates reliance on active safety systems by using physics-based passive safety through negative temperature coefficients and passive heat dissipation. The company's TRISO-X fuel can withstand extreme temperatures well beyond conventional nuclear fuels, enabling safer, more reliable nuclear power generation. X-energy delivers next-generation carbon-free energy by reinventing nuclear power for a cleaner planet. The company's core competencies in HTGR design and high-temperature fuel design create a unique combination applicable to nuclear thermal propulsion for space exploration. X-energy's reactor technology provides zero-emission base-load power that is scalable, locatable anywhere, and can operate independently or complement renewable energy sources to meet rising global energy demand while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

Talen Energy was born in 2015 from a simple but powerful insight: the energy landscape was fundamentally changing, and the industry needed a new kind of power producer - one that could bridge the gap between traditional reliability and emerging clean energy demands. Emerging from PPL Corporation’s century-old utility operations, Talen’s founders recognized that the future belonged to independent power producers who could combine operational excellence with strategic flexibility. They assembled a diverse portfolio of generation assets across the United States, anchored by the Susquehanna nuclear facility and spanning nuclear, natural gas, coal, and oil technologies - giving Talen the unique ability to deliver power safely, reliably, and efficiently while navigating the complex energy transition. Today, Talen Energy operates approximately 13.1 GW of generation capacity across 12 locations, employing nearly 1,900 people who embody the company’s core values of Excellence, No Harm, Integrity, and Continuous Improvement. The company has evolved beyond traditional power generation to become a leader in powering the digital infrastructure revolution, establishing first-of-its-kind partnerships to serve data centers with 24x7 carbon-free nuclear power. With ambitious commitments to eliminate coal use by 2028 and reduce CO2 emissions 75% by 2030, Talen is proving that reliability and sustainability can power the future together. Their partnership with Eos Energy to explore battery storage solutions further demonstrates how they’re innovating to meet the growing demands of AI-driven data centers while delivering maximum value per megawatt produced for their stakeholders.
